On September 18, Jiao Niang and Li Niang Rou Niang entered the palace together after bidding farewell to Hua Jintang and Ji's family. The draft is divided into primary, secondary and palace selection, and Jiao Niang held the hairpin and passed the first two smoothly. And Li Niang and Rou Niang failed to return home early because they did a little bit of work.

The day of the palace selection is in the Zhufang Palace, presided over by the queen, the assistant of Yi Guifei, and the show girls are waiting in the imperial garden, waiting for the eunuch to read the name, before entering the palace.

At this time, Jiao Niang's heart was a little apprehensive, and before the end, everything was variable. At this point, if there is a case and she is given a sign, even if she can't enter the Rui Wangfu through this road, according to Yingche's temper, she will not let her go. At that point, the road will be even harder.

Because of her outstanding appearance, Jiao Niang has obviously been excluded in the palace these days, whether it is entering the palace or being given to the prince of the palace, Jiao Niang is undoubtedly everyone's biggest opponent.

The only one who can talk to her is Yang Liu.

"Sister don't have to be nervous, according to your talent, you will definitely be selected. Seeing that she was nervous, Yang Liu comforted her.

Jiao Niang took a shallow breath, smiled and nodded at her, and straightened the hairpin on her head, "Sister will definitely stay." ”

Yang Liu originally couldn't go this way, her mother-in-law made arrangements as early as when she went to Beijing, she thought she was defeated, it was Jiao Niang who begged Ying Che when she was in Licheng, no matter who she married, it was better than marrying a fool.

As he was talking, he saw the show girl rushing forward, and a bold show girl shouted excitedly: "Look at it, look at it, that is the prince, ah, he's coming, he looks this way." ”

Jiao Niang looked at it casually, only to see a man wearing bright yellow embroidered dragon pattern clothes and a golden hairpin walking on the cobblestone road behind the osmanthus tree, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids in front of and behind him, with handsome faces, tall figures, and dignified appearance, but the smile was a little frivolous, and there was a greasy feeling in Jiao Niang's opinion, which was the prince of this dynasty, Yinghua.

Jiao Niang saluted with everyone.

Yinghua can also be said to be handsome and extraordinary, and with the blessing of the prince, it naturally provokes some people's hearts to ripple, a pair of eyes look at the past, the autumn waves are crossing, the prince was passing by, at this time saw a group of warblers and swallows in the garden, and was tripped and reluctant to go.

The draft girl, who has not been given marriage, is the emperor's woman, the prince's behavior is really bold and decent, Jiao Niang disdainfully and turned her head away.

But Jiao Niang is such a beauty, it is really impossible to ignore, the prince looked around, only when he saw Jiao Niang's appearance, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.

"What's your name, which show girl is it?" he stared at Jiao Niang tightly.

Jiao Niang's heart couldn't help but go up, she glanced at him with flirtatious eyes, and quickly drooped down. She could deeply feel the eyes of the crowd projecting on her, those eyes that could burn people.

"Courtier-" Jiao Niang hesitated, so many people, just asking her, didn't this make her hated.

"The prince is here. At this moment, a clear voice sounded, and Jiao Niang did not see her, but when she heard it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She gently raised the corners of her eyes to look over, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The prince looked back, "It's the third brother." ”

With the arrival of Ying Che, the eyes of all the beautiful girls were attracted by him, if he was not present, the prince would naturally be outstanding, but in such a comparison, the prince fell behind.

Ying Che approached, "I looked for the prince, and it turned out that the prince was tripped by a beauty." After speaking, he glanced at Jiao Niang.

This glance made Jiao Niang's heart tighten, and she inexplicably felt a sense of weakness, so she quickly lowered her head.

Seeing Jiao Niang bowing her head, Ying Che said again: "You can look at the beauty at any time, my father is still waiting for us in the study." ”

The prince patted his head, "I almost forgot about this, go quickly." He reluctantly glanced at Jiao Niang a few times, and then left quickly.

Yingche didn't move, staring at Jiao Niang for a while, until the prince called him, he answered, and then pulled the silk handkerchief in Jiao Niang's hand sideways, and then followed.

This move frightened Jiao Niang a lot, and the sharp-eyed show girl saw this scene, everyone pointed and whispered, some pouted with disdain, some with envy, and the jealousy of the courtyard made the flowers in the imperial garden sour and almost closed.

What's more, the mouth is not clean and says mean words, which come to the ears of Jiao Niang, but I don't hear it. This is not the time for trouble.

Waiting for Jiao Niang to enter the hall, it is already the last batch. The Fang Palace is not usually used, and it is only cleaned up for the sake of the palace election in the past few days.

The smooth ground is clearly visible, and the lady stares at the marble under her feet without squinting, and only raises her head when the eunuch calls.

This draft is mainly for the marriage of the minister, so the saint did not attend, and the person sitting on the throne in the middle is the current queen, Wei Chi, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes and pearls, and is very graceful and luxurious.

Sitting beside her, the position is only one level lower than her, and above the concubines is Yi Guifei, compared with the queen, she is much simpler, dressed in a moon-white lotus flower wrapped with silver silk embroidered clothes, and a few simple white hostas on her head, but even if she is dressed plainly, her appearance is far better than that of the queen, and even the concubines, but she is not as fresh and beautiful as those young.

It may be that after watching the show girl for a day, Concubine Yi looked a little tired, her posture was slightly slanted, and she only heard Jiao Niang's name.

She looked kind and gentle, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "I have seen so many show girls today, and the top one is the most outstanding, and the flower family is a beauty, and it really deserves its reputation." While boasting, he slanted at the queen.

The queen's waist is straight, and the tiredness of the day has not taken off the majestic posture on her body, listening to what Concubine Yi said, she looked over and said: "The palace remembers that the side concubine of the third prince is from the Hua family. ”

Concubine Yi said with a smile: "Niangniang's memory is really good, she is the eldest daughter of the Hua family." It's just that the concubine looked at it, this little daughter is even more outstanding than my daughter-in-law, such a beauty, the queen mother does not keep it for the prince, but I am afraid that it is a mistake to miss the pearl. ”

The hall is empty, even if the voice is small, there is an echo, Jiao Niang listened to this, and her heart immediately "chuckled", and she couldn't help but raise her eyes and tilt her eyes.

Seeing the queen frowning, obviously displeased with this proposal, she looked at Jiao Niang's eyes, there was an arrogant and domineering look, and said arrogantly: "Concubine Yi is wrong, the prince's status is noble, is it for everyone? The prince is the prince of the country, and the most important thing for the people who serve around him is virtuous, not appearance." ”

The prince's east palace is already restless because of quarrels, and if he is in such an outstanding appearance, he may have to make trouble. Therefore, in this draft, the queen has already decided to choose a few more show girls for the prince who are knowledgeable, have good family affairs, and are helpful to him.
